What makes Xbox Live so much better than PSN?

I'm getting a PS3 and getting rid of my 360 so I'm just wondering what makes PSN so much worse. The only thing I can think of are parties.. Anything else? You can still have private chat with people on PSN right?

IT really comes down to one thing,

CROSS GAME VOICE CHAT.

That's pretty much it.

Right now, I can cross game text chat on PS3, and when the gamer gets that same game in, we Voice Chat.

On 360, it's Cross Chat all the time.

Xbox Live has Netflix, Parties, Netflix Parties, Cross game chat, Avatars, Games On Demand, Earlier DLC, Primetime channel like 1vs100 among many other things

And when that happens, one of the main reason's I've used Xbox Live Gold will be nullified...until then, I'm a paid member of that service.

[QUOTE="AgentA-Mi6"] Sony has stated several time that cross game chat is in the works after PSN finally gets that, PSN will be perfect and the standard of what a decent online service should be.

What makes Xbox Live so much better than PSN isn't just "cross game chat" (although that's a small part of it.) What makes XBL better is the fact that it is incredibly well designed, tightly integrated and has a bunch of server-side technology that PSN does not have.

Least we don't need to hear 13 year olds asking their moms to make a sandwich while playing, besides, PSN can use any USB/bluetooth headet. Does Live have that? LIVE Party? Like having more people on mic chat? PSN can have at least 7 people chatting mic/video. trueskill matchmaking? Can you elaborate?The only thing PSN needs is Cross Game chat and voice messaging. Thank goodness Sony is working on that :D

1.) Yes, but that's not a huge deal. Sure, it's nice, but it's also huring LIVE. For instance, when I play GeoW2, no one is talking anymore. Anyways, you act as if I don't have a 360. LIVE Party is nice, but not $50 nice.

2.) Trueskill matchmaking? That's not worth $50 at all. Not even worth mentioning, the old system was better, and even then, who cares?

3.) Custom Soundracks are in many PS3 games, but like you said, that has NOTHING to do with LIVE or my post. That would be like bringing up WiFi, Browser ability, PSP connectivity, Blu-Ray, or any other such feature. You're going off track.

4.)Some 360's come with headsets standard (The Pro's are discontinued, but the ELITE's will come with them, the ARCADES Do NOT come with headsets).

BUT that's off track again. PS3's come standard with an amazing Blu-Ray player, Huge HDD's standard, Rechargeable Battery Standard, etc. again, what does that have to do with anything?

Are you trying to sell a 360, because I've had TWO 360's since 2005. I also own a PS3 obviously, do you?

You made a thread about getting one since your 360 crapped, but you never got one and I doubt you ever will, bc your a lem, but hey its cool! I had a 360, sold it, and got a PS3.The grass is greener :D

Basically the unified structure of Live plus all the content that is on i wont have to get into it cause the fanboys are gonna tell you that all of the stuff isnt needed. I say why get rid of the 360 and just get the ps3 and keep the 360 its a great combination.

If your referring to DLC, PS3 has been taking a lot of the 360s' lmao

Well if you where a hardcore n64 person you would love xbla. Looks at pdz 64

Party chat while playing diferent games !

Double post just so you know.

Netfilx parties, Chat parties, among other things make it better. Yes you can still have a private chat with people on PSN. Don't recommend selling one console for another unless you absolutely see no reason for it to be around.moose_knuckler

Why I like LIVE better is simple. All my friends have 360s. I have one friend with a PS3 and he doesn't play it. So I can choose to play with 10-20 people I know in real life. Or I can play on PSN with a bunch of strangers. Oh yeah, I don't even have a headset for my PS3 yet either.

Cross game chat, which does not justify 50 dollars a year.

I alsways find it funny that people say this.Everyone I know who owns a 360 does not pay for Live,so it's not like every 360 owner is online.It's not like you need every single Live user to play a game anyway.So once again,it's irrelevant.You act as if you need 20 million people just to play a game online.

Dude, again, keep your old console. Your little cousin dosnt deserve it.

And the things that make XBL better than PSN are the parties. And the corss game chat. And the earlier DLC. But at least PSN is free.

Nothing, after Firmware update 3.0.

One pretty big thing for me is that every downloadable game has a free trial.

It still doesnt offer cross game chat, anything other than that is simply an attempt to justify 50$ a year that the no other system has to pay to play online.AgentA-Mi6

theres still LIVE party, trueskill matchmaking. and while its not part of LIVE itself, I like playing custom soundtracks during games online or off. not to mention 360s come standard with a headset and ps3s dont. 93soccer

[QUOTE="Brownesque"][QUOTE="imprezawrx500"] some ps3 games do support custom sound tracks you know?

moose_knuckler

Chat parties. Honestly thats the only difference, and i dont understand sony not adding this feature, you would think that theyd want to make it so ms has nothing over them when it comes to features like tihs, it should be their first priority.

XBL only offer a couple of extra features which are NOT ESSENTIAL FOR ONLINE PLAY... (examples : party chats & cross-game chats)

As for the rest PSN & XBL are equal in terms of what is their PRIMARY use which is letting gamers play games online..They perform equally with Games/PSN offerring sometimes dedicated servers..

Any other excuses, hhmm I mean reasons fanboys will give are just sorry excuses to justify the $50 a year 'we' ( igot XBL) have to pay extra...
